yeah the side panel is a direct replacement for the antec case models, got it from new egg for 30 bucks
i love it, the fan hole is perfectly set up for dropping in my extra antec fan
no screws needed. yeah i didnt think it would be that bright i just got 3 ligths cause i didnt want to leave any areas dark
stock fan? hell no
thats dynatrons top model, there the low end of the top end if yah know what i mean, dont have any complaints on it yet and it keeps my amd really cool... only set me back 25 bucks or so.
the monsoon speakers are nice, i didnt like them at first but they are growing on me, i just ditched my santra cruz sound card and am running the speaks through the nforce
i love my computer more now its a long work in progress but i keep gettin more and more ideas for her
i got a update coming soon, just ordered some side mount fans to go in the pci slot to blow right on the 9700 pro :L) and going to put 2 tornados in also.
